I read stuff about that way back when, and I think it was always one of those factors that was accepted or not based on your ideology. So, let's ignore that one for now, and assume, FTSOA, that she was unknown. (Translation: I'm too lazy to google it.)
My point still stands. She used her authority as an employee of the exec branch to undermine the exec. The fact of her involvement in Wilson's selection - the fact that it was a calculated move on her part and Wilson's part to discredit Bush - leaves her, IMHO, having put herself out there. You can't do that kind of thing, and then whine when someone points it out.
